Wiretaps "Static Resurrection" (Wiretaps)

I definitely dug this band when they were getting down around the turn of the last century, with their jaunty, punked up take on early 90s indie pop, and a kind of edgy bubblegum vibe. This posthumous release of some excellent unreleased material seems to be predicated on the, "shit, we can release this on itunes, what the hell," model, which is awesome because even though a defunct, non-touring band that was only moderately successful has no chance to sell a bunch of CDs, it would be a damn shame if these gems (one of which may be,unbeknownst to you, your favorite song ever) never saw the digital light of day. So tap this.
